In Carlos Arriaga's painting "The Abbey on the River" (2023), a mesmerizing blend of artistic techniques fuses historical architecture with the serenity of nature, capturing the essence of London's iconic landmarks. The artist's masterful use of oil paint on black and white photographic grisaille on canvas creates a compelling juxtaposition, infusing the artwork with a sense of timelessness and contemporary allure. Arriaga's evident love for painting London scenery shines through, evident in the meticulous attention to detail that highlights the city's historical charm and its harmonious coexistence with nature.

The painting invites viewers to contemplate the seamless integration of historical architecture and the tranquility of the river, where the iconic Westminster Abbey stands majestically alongside the flowing waters. The use of photographic elements adds a touch of reality and dimension to the artwork, while the oil paint infuses it with emotional depth and painterly brilliance. "The Abbey on the River" captures the captivating allure of London's cityscape, where the past and the present merge gracefully, and invites viewers to immerse themselves in the harmonious dialogue between historical grandeur and the soothing embrace of nature.
